Ingredients

Method

In slow cooker, combine tomatoes, chickpeas, onions, apricots, broth, honey, garlic, lemon zest, bay leaves, cinnamon stick, paprika, ginger, cumin, coriander, turmeric, salt, pepper and saffron. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.

Discard lemon zest, bay leaves and cinnamon stick. Stir in chicken. Cover and cook on high until juices run clear when chicken is pierced, about 40 minutes. Stir in parsley; sprinkle with almonds. Serve with lemon wedges.

Test Kitchen Tip: Serve the tagine over couscous to soak up all the delicious juices.

 

Did You Know?

The best way to draw out saffron’s unique flavour is to soak the threads in hot (not boiling) water. Add threads and liquid to recipes for a deeper, richer flavour.
